Mauro Colagreco's two-Michelin-star Riviera kitchen over the Chao Phraya. Book the carte blanche thirty days out for a Bangkok proposal.
The Reservation Problem at Côte
The river is the first thing you notice. The Chao Phraya slides past the open flank of the room, and the city’s lights are already on the water before the first course reaches the table. You hear the boats before you hear the kitchen.
Côte by Mauro Colagreco sits inside the Capella Bangkok at 300/2 Charoen Krung Road in Bangrak, on the second-floor terrace above the Chao Phraya. It is the Thai outpost of Mauro Colagreco, whose Mirazur in Menton holds three Michelin stars and was ranked number one in the World’s 50 Best in 2019. Côte itself climbed to two Michelin stars in the 2025 guide and held them for 2026. The chef de cuisine on the floor is Davide Garavaglia, who cooked at Mirazur for years before Bangkok. Two stars on a riverside terrace make this the squeeze it is.
How to Book Côte by Mauro Colagreco
There is no Resy or Tock here. Côte books through its own site at cotebkk.com and through the Capella Bangkok reservations team. The room runs five nights only, Wednesday through Sunday, lunch from noon and dinner from six, which compresses every weekend booking into a narrow set of seats. Open a calendar four to six weeks out for a Friday or Saturday dinner with a river table.
Two routes make it easier. The first is lunch. The escapade menu, four courses from 3,300 baht, is the most gettable seat in the house and comes with the same view at half the spend. The second is the hotel. Capella guests get the concierge, who holds tables the public window does not show, so a night in the hotel is also a reservation strategy. For a confirmed river-facing table, say so when you book; the terrace edge is the seat people fly in for.
What You Eat
Colagreco’s cooking is vegetable-first. The salt-baked beetroot that made his name at Mirazur is the clearest statement of it, and the Bangkok kitchen carries the same logic into a daily-changing menu built on Gulf of Thailand seafood and Riviera technique. The format to book is the carte blanche, nine courses from 7,800 baht, which hands the evening to the kitchen. Olive oil is treated as an ingredient with a named producer, not a pour. Come hungry and let the pacing run; this is a long, deliberate dinner, not a quick one.
The Smart Play
For dinner, book the minute your target Saturday clears the six-week line, and ask for the terrace. If the evenings are gone, take the escapade lunch and keep the view. For anything tied to a date that cannot move, a night at the Capella turns the concierge into your booker. Bangkok’s other top tables, Sórn for southern Thai and Le Du for modern Thai, are the obvious second calls if Côte is full.
Not for a quick dinner or a tight budget. The carte blanche is a long nine courses from 7,800 baht, the room runs only Wednesday to Sunday, and there is no walk-in seat over the river.

Frequently Asked Questions
How hard is it to book Côte by Mauro Colagreco?
Harder than most Bangkok tables, because two Michelin stars and a riverside terrace meet a five-night week. Côte serves only Wednesday to Sunday, so every weekend dinner competes for a small set of seats. Book through cotebkk.com four to six weeks out for a Friday or Saturday with a river view. Lunch is far easier.
How far in advance should I book Côte?
Four to six weeks for a weekend river dinner. The room runs Wednesday through Sunday with lunch from noon and dinner from six, which concentrates demand on a handful of evenings. Open the calendar the moment your target Saturday clears the six-week line and book at once. Weekday lunches and early seatings are gettable on shorter notice.
Can hotel guests get a table more easily?
Yes. Capella Bangkok guests reach the concierge, who can hold tables the public booking window does not display. For an evening tied to a fixed date, a night in the hotel is itself a reservation strategy. Mention a river-facing table when you book; the terrace edge is the seat that draws people across the world for it.
How much does Côte by Mauro Colagreco cost?
Plan on 3,300 baht for the four-course escapade lunch and from 7,800 baht for the nine-course carte blanche at dinner, before wine. Wine pairings and the cellar push the total well higher. The menus change daily, so the price reflects whatever the kitchen sourced that morning rather than a fixed card.
What should I order at Côte?
Book the carte blanche and let the kitchen lead. Colagreco's cooking is vegetable-first, anchored by the salt-baked beetroot that made his name at Mirazur and built here on Gulf of Thailand seafood with Riviera technique. For a lighter, cheaper visit with the same river view, the escapade lunch is the smart call.
